Pico-projectors: Lemoptix enters the picture
Keywords:pico-projector? optical engine? Lemoptix?
Lemoptix augmented reality smart glasses were developed in collaboration with the Swiss start-up Composyt Light Labs and include a patented holographic combiner that allows images to be projected directly on to the eye's retina. The glasses themselves, when brought to market, will use retinal projectors so small that they will look like normal eyeglasses, rather than the oddball look of Google Glass.
